Joanne H. Wang, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon serving patients in Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, specializing in hand and upper extremity conditions. Raised in Cleveland, she graduated from Brown University and earned her medical degree from Brown’s Warren Alpert Medical School.
After completing her residency at University Hospitals/Cleveland Medical Center, Dr. Wang trained in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, followed by a Shoulder Surgery fellowship at Rush University. She treats traumatic and degenerative conditions of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, performing procedures such as carpal tunnel release, tendon repair, and rotator cuff surgery. Dr. Wang is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.

Dr. Wang is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met! She is patient and kind with a great sense of humor! She takes time to get to know her patients. She made sure to answer all of my questions in the office, just before surgery, and my follow up appointments. If you are having problems with your hands & arms, she is the doctor to see!!

Dr. Wang has been amazing in helping me through several hand and arm issues. What I really appreciate is how she actually takes the time to listen and understand what’s going on with me – not rushing through appointments like some doctors do.
I’m so grateful that she has a conservative approach to treatment. She clearly doesn’t jump to surgery as the first option, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks to her care, we’ve managed to resolve all my issues without surgery so far, and I hope to keep it that way! But if I ever do need surgery down the road, I trust her completely.
Her staff has been great too, always helpful and responsive. If you’re having hand or elbow problems, I can’t recommend Dr. Wang enough. She gives you all your options and really respects what you want. So thankful to have found her!

I had a pretty serious situation and Dr. Wang did such an amazing job of clearly talking through the problem and resolution. She made me feel at ease the issue would be rectified thoroughly and discussed the healing process needs. I would go back and have her take care of any of my future issues if I ever had one.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Wang, she has incredible communication skills and never has a problem taking the time to explain things to you. She has helped me so much and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. If you need help you are doing yourself a great disservice not seeing her.

My experience with Dr. Wang and her office were superlative! She is a very intent listener, and knows her field as though she invented it. The office is very professional and beautifully equipped to provide the images and data that enables proper diagnosis of your malady immediately.

Dr Wang impresses with her demonstration of medical knowledge, calm demeanor, friendly personality and compassion for the patient. Highly recommended.

Dr Wang is the absolute best arm orthopedist. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I totally trust her and her judgement.

Dr Wang is kind and also very detailed in her examination. I was impressed with all of the different things she considered to pinpoint my symptoms.
